Robert Shaw was terrific. Brilliant in Robin and Marion as the Sherrif against Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn. Was also excellent in A Man for All Seasons, The Sting and Taking of Pelham 123.
Bloody hell just googled him - born in Westhoughton!

I now live literally less than 100 yards from the house he was born in, oddly, the local Wetherspoons is named after him.

Wasn't Andy Carroll going to be a better signing than Sergio Aguero? Scary stuff!

I remember the media claiming Spurs had a better signing in Paulinho than we had with Fern, so considering all the inferior quality signings we keep making we must have over perfomed to an amazing extent since 2008.

Even my mate at work, who knows a thing or two about football, said the same thing.

I reminded him of it a couple of seasons later.

Remember that well

For all the talk of the millions we’ve spent, an awful lot of our signings were players that many clubs could have taken a punt on. Fernandinho being the prime example. I still maintain that we haven’t signed a world class galactico star since the Sheikh came in, apart from maybe David Silva

Wasn't Robinho supposed to be one, Statement I suppose but one of our worse signings for the money.

Do you mean David Villa?

Far from a galactico signing - it took at least 4 seasons for the pundits etc to get Dave's name right.

That's always happened with lazy City reporting...Gleghorn was Cleghorn on some media outlets forever.

And Tommy Hutchison still gets called Tommy Hutchinson by mostly everybody.

Well galactico a wrong choice of word to describe him, but arguably was world class when he signed for City
